1 AM
Eyes open, watching the ceiling again
This damn machine
I’m fighting for every breath I take
3 AM
I’m not a big fan of medication
The pain in my chest
and my need to sleep calls for an exception
Palpitations and sleep apnea here again
Afraid to fall asleep
Worried sick that I may not be waking up
is enough to get cold feet
So, help me please I’m in crisis
This drum solo is incessant
Two days and nights without any sleep
One more and I’m going to lose it
The doctor speech is spewed
It’s the same old news
He said there’s nothing wrong with me
My shrink said it’s anxiety
I’m the most mellow guy I know
Cool and always in control
Stress was somehow eating me
and I had no clue
Palpitations and sleep apnea here again
Afraid to fall asleep
Self inflicted insomnia suits me well
But will never save me

Writ of douchebaggery

Writ of douchebaggery
Some of them are born this way
Sometimes it’s genetically transmitted
The writ of douchebaggery is a bullying thing
Either way it’s not okay
Not a nice way to behave cause
Every time they open their mouth
There’s a broken heart but they don’t care
Every tear or broken feeling
Satisfies them just like breathing air
No one really knows what’s going through their head
Let’s just say there is an immense empty space
No grief, apologies or regrets
Just a stupid smile on their stupid face
Bleeding nose, tattered clothes
Sucking it up so no one knows
Wandering in fear and shame
A raging fire building up
Someday it will be enough
When it’ll happen I don’t wanna be nowhere near
Targets the most vulnerable
Adds more heads for their trophy wall
Stepping on feet as they please
The best way to boost their self-esteem
Eyes on them while they torture peers
Otherwise where’s the point?
How can they get our acceptance
without showing us their dominance?
No one really knows what’s going through their head
Let’s just say there is an immense empty space
No grief, apologies or regrets
Just a stupid smile on their stupid face
Bleeding nose, tattered clothes
Sucking it up so no one knows
Wandering in fear and shame
A raging fire building up
Someday it will be enough
One way or another it screams tragedy
For either them or us

Often come and go

Often come and go
Just another episode of my
all time favorite show
Broadcasting since four decades now
24/7 on the go
Despite casual redundancies
I never grow tired
I have absolute control
Some you love and some you hate
Some you might tolerate
Some might hurt you every now and then
Some deserve a second chance
To be known, to be liked
to be loved, to be taken care of
In exchange you might
Be appalled, be impressed
be enticed, be enamoured by some
Let the current carry you
Don’t be rude, don’t be harsh
Don’t forget the most important at all
Enjoy life and stay young at heart
In time it’ll benefit us all
It’s the most interactive of all reality shows
There’s no rewind, stop or pause
So regrets often come and go
Keep in mind you cannot please them all
or influence free will
So please don’t make it a life goal
Some might not let you in
Some might be genuine
Surprise hits you every now and then
Cause some deserve a second chance
To be known, to be liked
to be loved, to be taken care of
In exchange you might
Be appalled, be impressed
be enticed, be enamoured by some
Let the current carry you
Don’t be rude, don’t be harsh
Don’t forget the most important at all
Enjoy life and stay young at heart
Then you’ll be enticed by one
With whom you’ll share common grounds
Spicing things up for the next seasons to come
Someday the curtain will fall
and I hope I’ll reach my goal
to be an inspiration for various spin-offs
So stay tuned for more

Emopulate
You speak, you brag, you intimidate
You deliver the goods but there’s a price to pay
Ladies and gents with no further delay
Mr Peacock’s walking down the runway
Welcome him with a big round of applause
Don’t forget, kiss his hands and feet
One faux pas and the passion’s all gone
He’ll only find comfort if you worship him
You can’t go on
What’s done is done
He clearly don’t realize the weight of his words
Every crossed lines, every scarred hearts
don’t seem to bother him anymore
There’s a fine line between love and hate
Narrow-minded and open-mouthed
Short on social skills and fake stories
In the desert planting seeds
He will wait forever for his carrots and beets
Of all the people, he should know better
You know that crops won’t grow with salty water
The clock is ticking, time’s running late
Some time alone will give her breathing space
A rollercoaster of mixed emotions
Sixty text messages a day
Nothing to help his sanity level
Ever heard the word emopulate?
You can’t go on
What’s done is done
He clearly don’t realize the weight of his words
Every crossed lines, every scarred hearts
don’t seem to bother him anymore
Land mining seems more accurate
than what he calls “giving a chance”
He don’t read well between the lines
Cause silence is a scream for help
A part of him knows where he missed
Is it the wrong lure or the wrong fish?
Resetting everyday
He still acts surprised when she says
We can’t go on
We’ll have to go on separate ways
What’s done is done
I’ll forgive you if you forget me
Every scarred heart
A wasted opportunity
What’s done is done

Scars of love
Pain is now your daily way
to make you feel alive
Now you make the word, love rhyme
with bruises and black eyes
Don’t worry, I’ll be fine
Every day a new excuse to justify
the reason why you cry every night
The razor blade in your hand
won’t make things feel right
You are not alone, you can speak with us
I know you have friends you can trust
So take your phone and stand up, call for help
This is your last stand
Raise your voice as she used to raise her hand
I know it will be rough
to make her understand the paradox
of being scared of someone you love
Don’t fall for her lies
She made a puppet out of you
Finely tricked your mind
All the fingers pointing at you
It’s gonna get to you someday
so if you don’t act rapidly
you might believe it too
Don’t ever underestimate
how strong you are
We believe in you
Don’t let her issues become
your scars of love
Faith should be your daily way
to make you feel alive
Why not make the word love rhyme
with happiness and smile?
Every day a new reason to enjoy life
and therefore no more crying at night
A loving peer in your arms
will make you feel alright
Remember you’re not alone
cause I’ll be on your side
We don’t always get along
sometimes you think I don’t understand what’s wrong
but here I am
And won’t rest till the day
you’ll be safe and sound
So take your phone and stand up, call for help
This is your last stand
Raise your voice as she used to raise her hand
I know it will be rough
to make her understand the paradox
of being scared of someone you love
Don’t fall for her lies
She made a puppet out of you
Finely tricked your mind
All the fingers pointing at you
It’s gonna get to you someday
So quick end this relation-shit
or you will fade away
So be strong and proud
know what you want
you’ve earned better days

This album makes me want to grab my skateboard and jump into the halfpipe again. Millencolin, No Use For A Name and co would be incredibly proud of this band.

Ten Stories High
by The Bouncing Souls

That album felt like coming home after a long time away but still being proud of everything I'd seen while I was gone. One minute and twenty seven seconds into "Kenver" feels like the culmination of everything I've loved about this band since I was a kid. It feels like the best parts of freedom I've felt on the best nights of my life.
